Assertion (A) : A lamp is connected in series with a capacitor and ac source connected across their terminal consequently current flow in the circuit and the lamp will shine.
Reason (R ) : Capacitor block dc current and allow ac current

A

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

Assertion is true but Reason is false

D

Assertion is false but Reason is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1
`X_(C ) = (1)/(2 pi fC)`
for `dc f = 0` then `X_(L) = oo`
for `ac f != 0` then `X_(C ) =` finite
